Water was too high though but I am sending in black sands for assay. The claim is in area of high platinum content in the black sand. Thanks for the vote of confidence. Not sure if I like this whole website idea yet though. Lot's of lurkers I am sure. B

How do ya like us backstage types now? I have been curious for a while about whether "high platinum content" black sands actually pay much after collecting, refining etc. Have heard different stories about it but have not heard of a ton of hand miners out there collecting so kinda doubt most of the stories.

The government report shows a whopping 162 ounces of platinum per ton of concentrates! Web-site : http://www.northbayresources.com/fraser.html Report on BC Platinum Placers : http://www.em.gov.bc.ca/DL/GSBPubs/Of/1986-7/OF1986-7.pdf Quote from the web-site : "The Fraser River Platinum property, located 3 km northwest of Lytton BC in an area known as the Van Winkle Bar, consists of 4 claim units covering 248 hectares (612 acres) along the Van Winkle Bar, and traversing 4.5 km along the Fraser River. Platinum and iridium are known to occur in the black sands of Van Winkle Bar. The source rocks are believed to be Carboniferous-Jurassic Cache Creek Complex volcanic and sedimentary rocks to the north, where the company has also staked claims. According to BC Open File 1986-7, the sands of the Van Winkle Bar have assayed up to 5681.1 grams (182.67 ounces) per tonne platinum." With grades like that, a miner might want to save a ton or two of the blacks sands that tend to be discarded after gold removal.

I think for the most part I would just be saving my black sands more if they had a high assay of Platinum. Just more incentive to keep them. I have heard of a few though on the Tully that have done well with them. But you have to screen down to black sand size so your buckets are full of premo stuff. Otherwise you just don't get enough. A friend of mine did well that way. But well for a placer miner isn't necesarilly all that good eh. LOL. But that Van Winkle bar has unreal potential.
